| Sustainable Power & Infrastructure Split Corp. Compound Annual Returns to December 31, 2025 | 1-Yr | 3-Yr | S.I. |
| Class A Shares (TSX: PWI) | 23.5% | 31.9% | 13.8% |

Returns are for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and are unaudited. Inception date, May 21, 2021. The table shows the Fund's compound return on a Class A Share compared with the S&P Global Infrastructure Total Return Index (the "Infrastructure Index") and Preferred Share for each period indicated. The Infrastructure Index tracks 75 companies from around the world, chosen to represent the listed infrastructure industry and related operations. The Infrastructure Index includes three distinct infrastructure clusters: energy, transportation, and utilities. The Fund is actively managed; therefore, its performance is not expected to mirror that of the Infrastructure Index which has a more diversified portfolio and includes a substantially larger number of companies. Furthermore, the performance of the Infrastructure Index is calculated without the deduction of management fees, fund expenses and trading commissions whereas the performance of the Fund is calculated after deducting such fees and expenses. Additionally, the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares is impacted by the leverage provided by the Fund's Preferred Shares. The performance information shown is based on net asset value per Class A Share, or the redemption price per Preferred Share and assumes that cash distributions made by the Fund during the periods shown were reinvested at net asset value per Class A Share, or the redemption price per Preferred Share in additional Class A Shares and Preferred Shares of the Fund. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.
You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell shares of the Fund on the TSX or other alternative Canadian trading system (an "exchange"). If the shares are purchased or sold on an exchange, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying shares of the investment fund and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.
There are ongoing fees and expenses associated with owning shares of an investment fund. An investment fund must prepare disclosure documents that contain key information about the fund. You can find more detailed information about the Fund in the public filings available at www.sedarplus.ca. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in share value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account certain fees such as redemption costs or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Investment funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
